Identification of genes involved in the tomato root response to Globodera rostochiensis parasitism under varied light conditions.

Understanding the intricate interplay between abiotic and biotic stresses is crucial for deciphering plant responses and developing resilient cultivars. Here, we investigate the combined effects of elevated light intensity and nematode infection on tomato seedlings. Chlorophyll fluorescence analysis revealed significant enhancements in PSII quantum yield and photochemical fluorescence quenching under high light conditions.

Microinjection of the CRISPR/Cas9 editing system through the germ pore of a wheat microspore induces mutations in the target Ms2 gene.

Background: Microinjection is a direct procedure for delivering various compounds via micropipette into individual cells. Combined with the CRISPR/Cas9 editing technology, it has been used to produce genetically engineered animal cells. However, genetic micromanipulation of intact plant cells has been a relatively unexplored area of research, partly due to the cytological characteristics of these cells.

Identification of quantitative trait loci associated with leaf rust resistance in rye by precision mapping.

Background: Leaf rust (LR) is among the most destructive fungal diseases of rye (Secale cereale L.). Despite intensive research using various analytical and methodological approaches, such as quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, candidate gene expression analysis, and transcriptome sequencing, the genetic basis of the rye immune response to LR remains unclear.

Genotype-Specific Expression of Selected Candidate Genes Conferring Resistance to Leaf Rust of Rye ( L.).

Leaf rust (LR) caused by f. sp. () is a highly destructive disease in rye.
